[mp3 player di kanan bawah di-pause dulu aja klo mo setel vidklip ini///just pause the mp3 player first (in the bottom-right) to play the vidclip]

Ternyata gw emang suka banget sama lagu ini.. Liriknya asik, musiknya asik, eh videoklipnya juga keren banget lagi! Cewe yang maen gw kenal dari The O.C. (walopun dia maen cuma bentar di The O.C. tapi berkesan banget deh..) :D Oya, ini soal selera, dan selera orang kan bisa beda2.. Jadi walopun udah gak sedih lagi, gw tetep pasang vidklip yang gw dapet dari youtube ini.. *tuing, tuing, gak nyambung mode ON..* :p

Anyway, into the topic.. As I previously mentioned [in the sideblog if you noticed], it was very unpredicted to have "eid al-fitr fest" in this country, thousand miles away from home.. It simply begins with the day when we (me and another moslem friends here) were still confused to decide when would the "eid al-fitr fest" be. Unlike in Indonesia where every head has their own opinion and "debate" whether to have the fest at monday or tuesday, the authority here has an easier job since there's not much to "debate" over to, or I'd say none to be precise. Only a slight rumors that said the fest is at sunday instead of monday, maybe because they think they should follow Mecca which celebrate the fest in sunday. But then, the authority here finally decide the fest would be on monday and the Eid-el-Fitr-Communal-Prayer(tm) would be held at 08:20.

And for us, it's time to shake the dice and choose, is it sunday, monday, or tuesday? Why should we choose since the authority has decided the fest to be on monday? *good question* Here's an answer, we came to this country several days after the Ramadhan starts, while it starts here at a different day with Indonesia. Not to mention timezone difference which adds another confusion to make the best decision. *waduh* Well, because of one and another reason, we *eventually* pick monday like the authority has decided. It's the most logically, and socially accepted, in our humble opinion.

And here comes monday a.k.a. Eid el-Fitr Fest! Hooray! *with tears drop* It's a mixed feeling indeed! And it's hard to describe too! I started the day with another sleep after shubuh prayer (06:00) since I was very tired hiking to Wartburg in Eisenach, the day before *??!* and here, the sun rises at 07:10. So another hour to sleep wouldn't hurt (of course!). Voila! Wake up at 07:30 and then take bath in a real rush! So refreshing! And yes, I've realized that I was late! The Tram (Strassenbahn) to the Mosque near campus would require half an hour to arrive! But guess what, I'm not the only one who was late.. Hehe.. :p Yudha called me from his cell phone told me that he were wearing his shoes while i was walked in front of the library of the Uni where I lived. He told me to wait for him, ok then, finally we met at the tram station. There were nobody in the tram station, bad sign, it means that the tram were just leave when we arrived. And yes, 10 minutes to wait for another tram. It's 08:10 when the tram arrived and brought us to the town centre. It's 08:20 in the town centre now, and yes, I repeat, we were late since the tram to the mosque would require another ten or 15 minutes!

But who will ever thought? The tram suspended because there were street cleaning job right in the middle of the town where we should leave at that moment from the site! *sigh* In desperate we finally decided to go to another mosque near the town centre, running, saving times left..

Peace. Out.
